An Atypical Presentation of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and it can metastasize to extranodal sites. The involvement of the adrenal glands is rare. In this report, we discuss the case of a 65-year-old man with complaints of asthenia, anorexia, hypersudoresis, and a weight loss of 10 kg in the month prior to his presentation. Suprarenal insufficiency and bilateral masses with heterogeneous contrast uptake in the adrenal glands were documented on a thoracoabdominopelvic CT. Infectious causes and functioning tumors were excluded. After an exhaustive study, DLBCL was diagnosed. Through this case report, the authors intend to sound the alert on the existence of a rare presentation of DLBCL.
